Woodenbong Road, Bonalbo, closed to through traffic; Detour in place

Woodenbong Road, Bonalbo, between Peacock Street and Cope Street, will be closed to through traffic for the next two months while Council replaces two box culverts.

However, all local traffic will still be able to access their properties as well as the hospital and service station while the road is closed.

A detour around the works – via Peacock, Sandilands and Cope streets — will be in place for though traffic for the duration of the work.

The culverts are being replaced as part of the multi-million-dollar project to upgrade the Clarence Way from Bonalbo to Urbenville.

The first culvert – a twin cell box culvert – being replaced is located just south of the Hospital Road intersection. The ongoing wet weather has delayed progress on this job, however it is expected to be finished by 28 June.

Once it is complete, crews will move on to the second culvert – a four cell box culvert – which is located about 50 metres north of the Hospital Road intersection. It is expected to take six weeks to complete.

While work on the first culvert is underway, local traffic will be able to access the hospital from the north along Woodenbong Road.

Similarly, when work on the second culvert starts, access to the hospital will be from the south along Woodenbong Road.

Council apologises for any inconvenience caused during the work.
